Introduction
During your six week rotation at St. Luke's, you will be splitting your time between four different provider groups in Boise and Meridian, Idaho. St. Luke's treats a diverse patient population. It has a high OB service, a very well respected and recognized group of specialists in OB/GYN, including experts in the areas of Gyn/Onc, and is a top rated, award winning medical center. In this clerkship we hope to offer students a wide variety of experiences in obstetrics and gynecology.
Office Experience
Students will spend time with various primary preceptors throughout the 6 week block. In office, students can expect to be part of the normal evaluation and management exposure for women (breast/pelvic exams, common/diverse pelvic problems, contraceptive needs, pelvic pain), see normal and high risk OB care from registration to post partum, and perform colonoscopies, LEEP, etc.
Hospital Experience
Students will follow laborists/laboring patients as available. Students will assist in deliveries and with surgical procedures such as hysterectomies, pelvic floor repair, stress incontinence, laps, etc.
Didactics
There are didactic opportunities available to students as much or as little as students like. Students are expected to attend OB/GYN lecture M-F, rounds, and hospital CME talks.
